Mr, Rese said that he saw evi- denees of this law being violated bet believed in giving due warn- ing before making any arrests, but said that “in the future any per- son caught violating the law per- tive to the sponges will be arrest- ed and prosecuted.” Does this apply solely to the man who tales the sponge from the water? he was asked and he replied that both the “man who takes the sponge and the buyer are held guilty and can and will be prosecuted.’* “We recently arrested several people for these violations, and one of the arrests were made be- cause an individual had been caught with underweight craw- fish,” said Mr. Rose. “The con- no crawfish which weighs less than one pound shal] be taken from the water.” This law violator acknowledged that le was guilty and paid the necessary, fing and costs of © thé| court.
